Summer Wedding

Summer, 2013

Just back from a whirlwind weekend in Western Pennsylvania at a high school friend's wedding. It was at the gorgeous Bedford Springs Resort, a property that dates to around 1806. It was a sprawling place, surrounded by long porches and set in the mountains near a pretty little Victorian town, and we had lots of good food and perfect weather and a half day by the pool.

It's funny to think of all the places that we've been for weddings and the associated parties. Off the top of my head, I can think of Selma, Alabama; Atlanta; Laguna Beach; Seattle; Austin; Spokane, Washington; Kiawah Island; South Carolina; Ithaca, New York; Scottsdale, Arizona; Boston; Washington, D.C (several times); Vermont; New Hampshire (twice); Paris; Scotland; Prague; Tipperary; Ireland; New Jersey; Westchester; NY; Maine (many times); New York (many times) and now Bedford Springs; Pennsylvania. I'm counting at LEAST 30 weddings in the last 8 years, but I'm sure there are a few I'm forgetting (eeek!)

The madcap wedding circuit seems to be slowing down for us just a little bit now, but it's been such a fun way to see places in the U.S. we might never have found our way to otherwise.

About Me

For the past 14 years, I've lived in New York and worked for various magazines and newspapers as a freelance editor and writer. I live in Williamsburg, where I enjoy skulking around cafes, walking down to the waterfront, and marveling at the Portlandia-ness of it all. In August of 2012 we added our son Axel to the clan. In March of 2014, Oscar was born, and in December, 2015, Balthazar joined the family. We are still doing our best to travel the globe and make adventures out of the every day in Brooklyn.
